Group Availability Search

Real-Time Group Availability Search Inside Sales & Catering Systems

MaximRMS announced the capability to link its e.FLEX revenue management system’s Group Availability Search functionality with Sales & Catering Systems, providing a real-time two-way interface between the two systems.

“Seamless, real-time group availability searches offer a vast improvement over difficult-to-manage, static “ceiling-based” or “lose it” group rate strategies that currently exist in Sales & Catering systems,” states Kathy Chandler, Director of Client Services at MaximRMS, “With this new functionality, salespeople enter a group’s criteria in the Sales and Catering System and moments later they receive e.FLEX group availability results on their screen.”

e.FLEX adds valuable price and displacement analysis capabilities and a more robust availability search tool for Group and Catering salespeople, with these added benefits:

Includes forecasted transient revenue displacement considerations specific to the proposed stay pattern in availability searches, using a real-time interface to e.FLEX

Provides guidance on pricing that allows salespeople to upsell customer-preferred dates during high demand periods, driven by displacement analysis in e.FLEX
